Expansion packs:
1. Get Together
2. Get To Work
3. City Living
4. Cats & Dogs
My list doesn't mean that I dislike Cats & Dogs. I do very much like it. I put them in order of how much I use them in my game play. I'm also a slow (but thorough) explorer so this list could actually be grouped differently in a year or so. I have Get Together first because I love that world and I use the club system. Get To Work second because I'm a creepy player and love using the Scientist/Alien aspect of it... if I could only get one EP it would actually be Get To Work but I know some of the other careers are lacking so it's second. City Living I'm still exploring but hate living in the apartments.. it's also the only place my sims freeze up if they are actively living in the apartments. I do really enjoy going to the city though on my country sims and it gives me no trouble if I play with it that way. Cats and Dogs is only last because I haven't explored it much.
Game packs:
1. Outdoor Retreat
2. Dine Out
3. Spa Day
4. Vampires
5. Parenthood
I play a lot of single sims and I favor the game packs that cater to giving them things to do. I also can't wait for Witches and at this point the only brewing, storytelling and nature centered living comes from OR. The Hermit's lifestyle attacts me also.. go figure considering my handle on the forums. I think possibly Vampires and Parenthood were better done packs quality wise but since I rarely bring up children Parenthood isn't played with much. I still haven't played a vampire for long in this game. I need all the packs however for furniture and added gameplay/animations worlds ect... (NEED)
Stuff packs:
1. Vintage Glamour
2. Perfect Patio
3. Bowling Night
4. Movie Hangout
5. Laundry
6. Romantic Garden
7. Backyard
8. Cool Kitchen
9. Luxury Party
10. Fitness
11. Spooky
12. Toddler
13. Kids Room
Same reason as before it caters more to the types of sims I play. Vintage Glamour has a lot of unique high end furniture so it rounds out when I need that and a butler in the game. Perfect Patio .. hottub. Bowling Night.. still enjoying and unique furiture and clothes. Movie Hangout just because of the channels. Laundry is working in to being part of some of my sims lives. Romantic Garden has the radio station I need. Luxury Pack has the buffet tables I need. The rest I use as needed.. some I've slowed down use on. I don't play with kids much though so I could have stuck with base game stuff for them. Again other than the kids stuff I use all the clothes/furniture ect from all packs.. even spooky.
